NEBRASKA BLUE

Regardless of what Mr. Spitzer did or didn’t do in the story about him spending untold amounts of money for prositutes, the damage done to his family and reputation is fatal.

I would just like to say I feel very sorry for his wife, who looked as is she could not be less humiliated by anything. Standing there next to him at the podeum while Elliot himself looked for all the world he was just sorry he got caught, and not really sorry at all for he had done.

They say power corrupts people, well here is a good example.

Oh and Dr. Laura Schlessinger blames Mr. Spitzer’s unfaithfulness on his wife not
being loving enough…?

Having never really followed her, or been a fan I can’t say if Dr. Laura is demented, or
just plain stupid, but in either case she should be raked over the coals for her ill
informed remark.

It’s his wifes fault…. right..?

I’ve had it with these guys forcing their wives to stand up there with them.

Seriously. There’s no reason for it. It doesn’t help the family, it doesn’t help the state, it doesn’t help the country or the culture, and it surely doesn’t help the wife.

Actually, there is one reason for it: The self-absorbed son-of-a-bitch is still in such deep denial of what he’s done, he actually thinks showing his shaken wife might salvage his career.

You know what I’d like to see? Just once? I’d like to see the wife interrupt his limp, stupid attempt at grandeur and step forward and say, “Excuse me, folks, but there’s something I’d like to say here.” Then I’d like her to whip around and punch him right in the nose. Bang. It doesn’t have to knock him down, and probably wouldn’t, but the look on his face would be worth it. Then she could shout, “You want to lick your wounds? Why don’t you get your whore girlfriend to do it? What’s she get for that, ten thousand?”

Then she could straighten her pearls, raise her chin and walk off stage.
